LED Wall Content Canvas: What Designers Need Before Export

Begin with the native pixel dimensions of the assembled display, not a description such as widescreen or panoramic. Ask production for a diagram showing the full width and height in pixels, the panel arrangement and any separate display sections. Physical measurements help with room planning but are not substitutes for pixel dimensions.

A panel layout describes how the display is assembled; the pixel map describes where image content lands. For an irregular arrangement, request clearly labeled active areas and unused areas. Do not assume that every position inside a rectangular design file corresponds to a visible LED surface.

The playback system may send a standard video frame even when the wall has a different native shape. The processor then maps some or all of that frame to the display. Designers need to know whether to export native-sized artwork or place artwork within a larger output canvas.

Request the destination coordinates and dimensions for each visible region, along with any intended scaling or cropping. Production should also confirm the supported delivery format, frame rate and playback requirements. These are system-specific decisions, not settings the designer should infer from a screen photograph or an earlier event.

Imagine a hypothetical corporate conference with a central presentation area and separate decorative content regions. The designer needs to know whether those regions receive one combined canvas or separate playback files. That decision affects animation timing, composition and the number of deliverables.

Ask whether presentation slides, video and live sources share the same destination or use different layouts. A full-width opening video might not follow the same mapping as a speaker's presentation. Label each required layout so designers do not mistake one approved destination for a universal template.

A simple test image can expose mapping misunderstandings before detailed artwork is finished. Include labeled regions, edge markers and shapes that make stretching obvious. Have production verify the image through the intended signal path, rather than approving only a screenshot from the design application.

The proof should establish which areas are visible, whether proportions remain correct and whether content crosses destinations as intended. Record any corrections in the canvas brief. Approval should come from the production contact responsible for the actual display mapping, with the planner confirming the intended presentation layout.

Give the approved brief a version identifier and include it with the delivery instructions. If the wall arrangement or signal routing changes, production should identify which files require revision. Designers should not quietly stretch approved artwork to accommodate a new destination. Exact LED wall configurations from Xperience Entertainment require a quote.
